Schedules Plus is the ultimate almanac to broadcast network primetime scheduling since 2001. It features lineups for three different parts of the year, as well as A18-49+ ratings that more fairly account for historical decline. For more on the tables and charts in Schedules Plus, see this primer.

This post covers CW Tuesday. If you want to know how the CW managed to come back from its early-2010s low point, look no farther than this night. In the network's first seven years, the network only occasionally had even passable Tuesday ratings: like when Gilmore Girls was there in the inaugural season, or very early in the run of 90210. But the launch of The Originals took the night to an unprecedented level in 2013-14, and it's flown into the stratosphere with The Flash: the CDub's biggest series ever. See the 2016-17 Breakdown.
